interval

Description

Executes a function continuously with the specified interval between each execution.

Input / Parameter

Name	Description	Input Type	Default	Options	Required
delay	The duration between each run. (In milliseconds)	Number	0	-	Yes
timeout	The duration the output appears for. (In milliseconds)	Number	0	-	Yes
persistent	Interval is repeated outside current page or not.	Boolean	false	false, true	No

Output

The function will return interval id if it ran successfully.

Callback

The action performed if the condition is true.

Example

In this example, we will pass a condition to check whether two values are equal using the Logic.equal function and print the result of the Control.conditional function in the console.

Steps

1. Drag a button component into the canvas and open the Action tab. Select the press event of the button and drag the Control.interval function to the event flow.

   
2. Call the function Control.interval. Enter the parameters of the Control.interval function.

   
3. Put a Log.write function below Control.interval as the callback.

   

Result

1. The function will call the callback 3 times based on interval time. Because 10.000 / 3.000 = 3.3 and we will floor to 3, then the callback will called 3 times.
